Would have liked to keep the momentum going and played this weekend, not have a week off.
Yeah, the international weekend is one where you just hope we don't pick up any injuries.
It is going to be interesting to see what happens when RvP comes back from injury.
I have a horrible feeling LvG will put him in and do god knows what with Rooney.
Probably play him left wing.
Personally, I would keep him on the bench.
Rooney didn't have his best game last weekend but you cannot argue with how we have suddenly started playing.
Shaw coming back can go in for Blind, and he can sit on the bench and cover pretty much any position in defence or mid.
Just got to remember to keep that tempo up against Villa.
Also now we have a system, LvG can start to look at players for the system, not the other way round.
Wild rumours are Bale or Ronaldo from Real.
Other rumours are Hummels (Dortmund), Depay(PSV), Berahino (West Brom), Ings (Burnley) and Clyne(Southampton).
So basically a right back, a centre back, and a few younger forwards who can play upfront or wide.
Whether the names are correct, the positions sound about right.
Di Maria is expected to leave, maybe Mata (but he just started playin well so we will see, I guess it depends if we get a big offer or not).
